Can't get the videos to play. It says "something went wrong, please restart the video player". Android v15. Pixel 6. Also the podcast player is sometimes visible in the home menu, sometimes not. Otherwise a nice app, good mini subscription that I can read in 5 minutes. Really enjoy the podcast.

Espresso is my go-to for a sharp, no-fluff global briefing, before turning to the NYT. As someone with just the podcast subscription, it’s great to still get that signature Economist tone—concise, intelligent, and zero bloat. I check it with coffee most mornings: 5 articles, audio included, plus mini world updates through the day. The “Quote of the Day” is a smart touch. If you want signal without the noise, this app nails it. Quietly one of the most efficient ways to feel globally literate.
